Who We Are: Five Friends Called Bankzitters
We're Bankzitters: Matthy, Robbie, Raoul, Koen and Milo. A Dutch group of friends who make YouTube videos, Dutch-language music and series together. This is where our merch lives, so here's who's behind it.
How did Bankzitters start?
Seven FIFA YouTubers: Bankzitters began with seven friends who each had their own FIFA channel: Matthyas het Lam, Robbie van de Graaf, Raoul de Graaf, Koen van Heest, Milo ter Reegen, Mark van Harten and Mathijs Stals. Instead of making videos alone, we decided to make them together.
One shared channel: the friend group goes back to 2015, and our joint YouTube channel started in 2017.
Who is in Bankzitters today?
Five of us: Mark and Mathijs left at the start of 2020. Since then it's been Matthy, Robbie, Raoul, Koen and Milo.
How big has the channel grown?
Step by step: we passed 100,000 subscribers in February 2019 and reached one million in 2024.
Where do we make our videos?
Our own office in Utrecht: since 2021 we've had our own office in Utrecht, where we record.
What else do we do?
Music: Dutch-language singles, two EPs and our own shows. There's a post on our music so far.
Series: De Knop, A naar Onbekend and B&B Bankzitters.
Merch: the BANK label, the BANK letters, the BZ monogram and more, on tees, long sleeves, crewnecks and hoodies.
